The room fell silent for a moment.

The Mother's Milk looked at Lin Mo, then at Butcher, and Frenchie also looked up in surprise.

Hire them? Hire them where?

Butcher frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"What's the meaning?"

"Come to Vought."

Lin Mo said.

"Work for me."

This time, Butcher finally understood, and it was precisely because he understood that his expression became somewhat amusing.

"Work for Vought?"

He repeated it subconsciously, then a slow twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

What do you think?

"I'll say yes?"

That expression, coupled with that tone, made Joanna next to her frown even more.

This person.

Why are they so infuriating?

Lin Mo had already said so much to him, and was even prepared to give him face by bringing him to Vought.

As a result, he actually put on this kind of act.

Joanna looked at Butcher, at his bearded face, and suddenly felt a strong urge to punch him.

It might not be because of anything else.

The more I look at this face, the more I feel like it's suitable for someone to take a hit.

Lin Mo didn't mind. He hadn't thought much of it; he had just casually mentioned wanting to work with him.

Butcher would nod immediately.

He doesn't have any skills to sway people's hearts; if it were that easy, this guy wouldn't be called Butcher.

Don't rush to refuse.

Lin Mo said calmly, "Didn't you just say..."

"Did the Deep hurt your wife?"

Upon hearing this name, Butcher's mocking smile turned serious.

Lin Mo continued.

"Prove the evidence, anything that can prove what you said actually happened."

"I can get justice for you and make the Deep pay for what it has done."

He spoke calmly. To others, the Deep was a member of the Seven, Superhero whom Vought had put a lot of effort into promoting.

But for Lin Mo, this guy was clearly not important enough to be ignored.

Of course, this is on the premise that things are indeed as Butcher said.

Things that need to be clarified still need to be clarified.

"So."

Lin Mo looked at him.

"Would you be interested in considering it?"

Butcher did not answer immediately.

He stared at Lin Mo, as if trying to discern from the other's face whether it was just a casual remark.

Or is that really the case?

In the end, he couldn't detect any perfunctory attitude on Lin Mo's face.

This gave rise to a slightly different thought in his mind.

Perhaps this Superman is indeed different from other Supe.

He was able to save Robin, and he was willing to say those words after hearing about the Deep.

So far, at least, no excuses have been made for the Deep, nor has he kept quiet simply because the other party is a member of the Seven.

Maybe he really is a good person.

Butcher found the idea somewhat unusual, but even so, it didn't mean he was willing to work for Vought.

"Without your help."

Butcher spoke again.

"I can do it too."

The voice wasn't loud, but the meaning was clear.

The Mother's Milk stood beside him, glanced at him, and this time didn't seem particularly surprised.

After all, he had known Butcher for quite some time, and for this guy, the name Vought already carried a lot of weight.

It wasn't because there was a seemingly decent Supe in the story that he was able to let go of all those things.

Lin Mo understood. In short, this guy just didn't want to work for Vought.

As for the Deep, with my help, things will certainly be much simpler.

He said he was prepared to keep trying even without a solution, which shows his backbone and is quite in line with his personality.

Lin Mo thought about it and didn't give up immediately, after all, the person was already here and they had been chatting for so long.

Saying a few more words won't take up much time.

"What if..."

He looked at Butcher and spoke slowly.

"I'm thinking of... modifying Vought?"

Butcher's brow twitched.

"Make some changes?"

"Um."

Lin Mo nodded and explained, "Some heroes do things they shouldn't have, and some people in the company will cover for them."

"But these things always need someone to keep an eye on them."

"We can no longer rely on lawyers and public relations to suppress the voices of victims when things go wrong, just like before."

Butcher didn't reply, she just looked at him.

Lin Mo continued.

"I'll change the company rules and let those people know."

"Some things can't be done, and even if you do, it's not something you can just get over by losing some money."

"What I want... is for those things to never happen again."

He paused briefly, his gaze falling on Butcher's face.

As for how to supervise them.

"Isn't that something you're pretty good at?"

Upon hearing this, Butcher's expression finally changed slightly.

Lin Mo saw it, and the corners of his mouth also turned up slightly.

"You investigate, you find the evidence, which heroes have problems, and who's cleaning up their messes behind the scenes."

"Find out the details and give them to me; I'll handle it."

After he finished speaking, Mother's Milk and Frenchie couldn't help but exchange a glance.

The two of them hadn't spoken for quite a while.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it.

The main issue is that the current situation has developed in a way that has exceeded expectations.

At first, they were thinking about how to get out alive, but then they realized that the other side didn't seem to be planning to make a move.

He finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

And then how did it become that Superman was going to recruit them into Vought?

And the task they were given was to investigate Vought, which sounds a bit like something they'd wanted to do before.

The conditions are even better, at least if what Lin Mo said is true.

Now that the truth has been uncovered, there's finally someone who can make those heroes pay the price honestly.

As she pondered Mother's Milk, her expression became more serious.

Frenchie then looked at Butcher's reaction.

Upon noticing that this guy had finally stopped making that sarcastic expression he was about to adopt.

Lin Mo's thinking was quite simple.

The surveillance was already part of his plan.

Hughie and Robin have agreed, but the specific arrangements haven't been finalized yet.

We can bring it up at the shareholders' meeting; having a few more people skilled in investigation isn't a bad thing.

Hughie's personality is such that he's willing to consider problems for ordinary people, Robin can also help deal with those victims, but if you really want to find some deeply hidden scoundrels and investigate further, you still need to find professionals.

These few are clearly more skilled.

Especially Butcher, send that guy to keep an eye on those heroes who aren't exactly honest.

Lin Mo even felt that he might not need to be urged a few more times; he would work very enthusiastically.

As for the specific arrangements, that's a matter for later; for now, let's get the people convinced first.

"So."

Lin Mo looked at Butcher.

"I'm having you indirectly supervise them."

What do you think?

Butcher was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke.

"If I found it."

"Is he one of your company's most profitable heroes?"

"Check."
